Does the water depth really matter on a recirc skimmer?

With a non-recirc, the deeper the water, the harder is is for the pump to pull air. You will get more LPM at 10" and more at 8".

Thanks Hop.
What can I do to improve the air intake at a depth of 11-12"? I would put the skimmer sitting on a stand, but there's no room in my stand. Thank you Last edited by filippo; 05/17/2008 at 11:50 PM. |
